Fragment of the Canyon Diablo meteorite. In 1929, astronomer F.R. Moulton was employed by the Barringer Crater Company to investigate the physics of the impact event.

Access to the range is primarily via New Mexico State Road 152 (NM 152), which crosses the Black Range on its way from Kingston on the east towards San Lorenzo on the west. NM 152 crosses the range at 8,228-foot (2,508 m) Emory Pass, where there is a hiking trail that covers the entire length of the mountains along the central ridge.
